 | Fujifilm Finepix S1000fd 10MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Zoom |
 | "Love This Camera" | 2009-09-12 |
This camera was purchased for my wife after her old camera bit the dust after taking pictures in a haunted building.(True)
Out of the Box this camera has performed flawlessly, the automatic function is wonderful for those quick shots, which by the way are beautiful in focus with correct light balance. It also has the capability to manually set up for specific shots for the purist. My wife takes lots of pictures and the 2gb SD card included allows one to shoot all day. She has filled the card once with close to 800 pictures on the highest definition. Many more could be taken at the two lower settings, but she likes to play with the photoes in Picassa, and Photoshop. The high definition allows her to do almost anything she wants. Additionally the back view screen is wonderfully bright even in low light, the use of the view finder is almost never necessary. In Low light situations it will take a very nice pic with ambient lighting. Admittedly, the flash is needed in dark conditions and for shadow fill outdoors, (under trees for example).
Would recommend this camera to anyone who wants to take great pictures. It has great value to price paid, due to the many functions built in. When my existing camera goes belly up this camera or current version will be the one I look for.

 | Quicken Deluxe 2007 |
| "Lesson Learned and Returned" | 2007-05-21 |
Quicken Deluxe 2007, is a fine package for tracking expenses, bank accounts, and if you track an IRA it will do a good job for you. I left Quicken and went to Microsoft Money, which I have been disapointed in ever since I did that. I was upset with quicken that long time customers (at least ten years) didn't get a better break on updated versions, then a couple of years ago maybe longer you changed your souce rograming so it would not read all the back up files from previous years. But I have learned my lesson, Microsoft Money is a waste of time and it does not have the bells and whistles that even Quicken Basic has. So I am back and happy, even without a more loyal support (break on cost of each years upgrade) I do not believe I will leave quicken again. It's good, does it's job, easy to learn,and in the end you will be happy.

| "You don't need that $1000 to $2000 machine" | 2006-11-10 |
Amazing is the word that sumarizes this machine. I did own a Delta and had put many hours on it and it did a good job. Vibration from this machine is hardly noticible, then it's weight and design have something to do with that. It is everything I wanted and more, it's like going from an old clunker to a race car. Only two negative items and they are small but aggravating. 1) One saw blade in the box, come on guys you could put in a mixed pack particularly for the beginner. 2) No hex wrench provided to set the angle gauge under the table to absolute zero. Otherwise if I could I would give it 10 stars.
